Notes -
One of my brothers had a long, long time in the wilderness of dating apps (he's a high earner in a not-great location) and basically came to the conclusion, now popular in some internet corners, that some white-collar jobs are daycare for adult women. He lost count of the women he met who traveled internationally 2-6 times per year for 2+ weeks per trip (with the unspoken but sometimes spoken expectation that serious dating would involve joining all the trips and eventually paying for all of it). Somehow, their workplaces got along just fine without them during their long absences. Whatever jobs they had, they certainly had more generous leave policies than any of his private sector jobs or my public sector jobs. Apparently there's a secret third sector neither of us have found yet.
Again, per my brother, many women he met had $100k+ email jobs, zero savings, and plenty of debt. Most of them perceived saving and being financially prepared for having a family as the man's job, and some were forthright enough to say it out loud. Anyone with that attitude would not have trouble spending money to travel frequently.
People in healthcare related professions (like nurses) can often get a lot of time off as compensation for overtime and night shifts as long as they don't spend it during the holidays. They are usually incentiviced to do this rather than taking cash compensation.
